Was a done deal yesterday and Mack knew he wasn't going to be around long. Watch out for Natrone Means.
This was written about Porter when he left to go to Auburn prior to the 2017 season.
"Porter has been with the program since 2014 and proved to be extremely important in turning the team around. His biggest contribution was helping to turn Elijah Hood and T.J. Logan into two of the best running backs in the ACC.
UNC also loses an extremely talented recruiter, who was instrumental in the recruitment of 2017 running backs Atwuan Branch and Michael Carter, defensive tackle Jordon Riley, cornerback Dazz Newsome, and kicker Noah Ruggles."

Yep. He's a good position coach but also a good recruiter which is even better. Porter, Bly, Bateman, Thig and Mack are some of the best out there.
And Porter it is. Very good hire. He’s had so much success coaching ST’s, maybe he can provide some assistance there too. Our ST’s certainly need it.
My instinct was right -- Natrone Means is now on the UNC coaching staff. Great hire by Mack.
“In 2005, Means joined the staff of Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina as running backs coach and in 2006 was promoted to offensive coordinator. He was recruited by head coach Robert Massey, who played with Means on the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1996. Means honed his coaching skills while participating in the NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship Program during the summer months of 2003 and 2006 with the Atlanta Falcons.
In 2007, Means was the offensive coordinator at the historical powerhouse West Charlotte High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. During training camp for the 2008 season, Means again participated in the NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, working with the running backs of the Carolina Panthers.
In May 2014, Means became running backs coach at Winston-Salem State University. He was the associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Winston-Salem State.[5]
In March 2021, Means became an offensive analyst at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.”
I hope Natrone will be a great hire. He was indeed a beast. I’m not normally a “the end justifies the means” guy, but this time I am. Welcome home “Refried”.
